Abstract.
We present a new compilation of Wolf-Rayet (WR) galaxies
and extra-galactic HII regions showing broad
HeII4686
HeII4686
emission drawn from the literature.
Relevant information on the presence of other broad emission lines
(NIII4640,
CIV5808
and others) from WR stars of WN and WC subtypes, and other existing broad
nebular lines is provided.

In total we include 139 known WR galaxies. Among these, 57 objects show
both broad HeII4686
HeII4686
and CIV5808 features. In
addition to the broad (stellar)
HeII4686
HeII4686
emission, a nebular HeII component is well
established (suspected) in 44 (54) objects.
We find 19 extra-galatic HII regions without WR
detections showing nebular HeII4686
HeII4686
emission.

The present sample can be used for a variety of studies on massive stars,
interactions of massive stars with the ISM, stellar populations, starburst
galaxies etc. The data is accessible electronically and will be updated
periodicaly.
